So I guess we Pm to get address to send it to?
Me 3!!Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!
Yeah I think your right, the pull order is the same, so we can do the more random format.So are we just sending gifts back and forth this year? Last year we didn't receive a gift from the person we sent one too, It was more mixed up. IE send to one person, receive from someone else? Just making sure!

Now I am confused. Last year I had Doug (ndnile). So this year I have you Tim?
Last year I had JABJEEP and have him again this year. I will need to get more creative this time.
I think we want to mix it up so no repeats when possible. Should we try again? Or Doug I can take Jeff if you will take Tim.
There are many ways to do this, here is what I did.
I always enter the names of the people as the sign up and they are numbered as the list is created. That original list in on Post #2.
My daughter wrote out 1-16 on small squares and cut them up.
Numbers were folded and placed in the kitty helmet.
My son and daughter alternated picking the numbers out of the kitty helmet, they were stacked as they went.
My daughter pulled the #8 first then my son pulled the #1, and so on.
That is the order I posted them in.
I thought we did pairs, but @rocket is right we did, first # pulled (#8) sends to second # pulled (#1) and so on, the last number pulled sends to the first number pulled.....
That seems to be a fairly random, overkill and complicated so sounds like something I would do. I'm sure that's what we did.
So does the more random way or simpler way work?
Simpler way was pull the numbers and pair them up. It really does not matter.
That works for me. I have to say that JABJEEP is getting quite the upgrade. You knocked it out of the park last year
I prefer random A to B, then B to C, etc. Then manually tweak it to avoid repeats or we can adjust repeats later amongst ourselves like bitzf4 and I just did.
I think I got them all sorted, and post 2 is updated, also the first pull post was updated for folks who check in later.
Swapped the send to for me and JabJeep

Perfect. Thanks. Doug you have Tim and I have Jeff.
Yeah that seems to work out pretty good, glad I thought of then, then forgot about it....... never boring.
The odds of the same numbers getting picked in the same sequence is pretty low with only 16 numbers. Nothing tracks from year to year on purpose.
I think it's like 50/50, it either will be the same or it will be different...

You might want to keep that anti-confusalator for yourself.

WTF are we doing here?????
Just re-check post 2.
Post 35 and 2 are the same list.
So should be all set if anyone reads either one.
Hey Les. Jabjeep (Jeff) has you. You have Rocket (Rodney)
Thanx for running the anti- transfusalator for me!
